Leo Valdez with the cabins
Cabin 1: Zeus. Jason and Thalia Grace. Leo thinks Thalia is hot and Jason is Jason. He loves them. Gets along very well. He would also be in love with any other potential children of Zeus.
Cabin 2: Hera. He probably tried to blow up the cabin. Dumb prophecy.
Cabin 3: Poseidon. Things aren't the best between Leo and Percy all of the time. They have a lot of rough patches. But they do enjoy being friends and working together. Just pray that Poseidon doesn't have any kids Leo could take an interest in. Then he'd be dead.
Cabin 4: Demeter. Not great. Fire and plants. They want him to stay away from their gardens. Leo tries to build sprinklers and fountains and entire greenhouses to get them to be more open to him. They appreciate it, but they won't let him in no matter what. They like him outside of their gardens and calm.
Cabin 5: Ares. Leo is the kind of kid that the Ares cabin would bully. But as soon as they find out he's the first son of Hephaestus with fire powers since 1666, they do not mess with him. They're typically nice to him, and he definitely is confused. They stop other kids from picking on him. Like, his bodyguards. They are not risking getting lit on fire. He tries to make friends with them. They give in eventually.
Cabin 6: Athena. They actually get along pretty well most of the time. Athena kids are the gifted kids of the demigod world. And Leo is a genius. He's been doing college level math since he was like 8. He and the Athena kids will get together to work on engineering projects. Every other time, they think he's very distracting. But they're some of the very few people who recognize his intellect. They make him feel understood to an extent in a way not many other people do.
Cabin 7: Apollo. (I don't remember what happened with him in TOA.) The medics in the Apollo cabin are not big fans of him. He blows stuff up a lot. He put people in dangerous situations. People get sent to the infirmary because of stuff he did all the time. Will Solace definitely has told him off once. The other Apollo kids love laughing at his antics. Leo does a little bow to them afterwards and walks off, laughing. He loves the Apollo kids.
Cabin 8: Artemis. The hunters of Artemis scare him. Thalia Grace. He'd totally want them to like him though.
Cabin 9: Hephaestus. Leo gets along really well with all of his siblings. They all work together in bunker 9 building whatever they find the most entertaining. Of course, sometimes they have to remind him that they actually have a job to do. They all have to watch out for each other, and they do.
Cabin 10: Aphrodite. Piper is absolutely his bestest friend. Sleepovers? Yes. Annoying the shit out of the rest of the Aphrodite kids? Of course. What else do you expect? The rest of the cabin does find him endearing, but they wouldn't ever do anything with him. Just friends. Oh and the makeovers. Leo wears makeup every single day purely because he lets the younger Aphrodite campers practice on him and he doesn't want to insult them by taking it off. And he feels fabulous in it. He is.
Cabin 11: Hermes. Oh boy, does Leo love the Hermes cabin! Travis and Connor Stoll playing pranks on Leo. Leo playing pranks on Travis and Connor Stoll. He messes with them so much. And they all enjoy it. Very much fun. 10/10. Leo's besties.
Cabin 12: Dionysus. They also get along great with Leo. The Dionysus kids invite him to their parties and he IS the party. Table dancing, party tricks with his fire powers, and just being reckless in general. There's no alcohol, but with Leo Valdez in attendance, there might as well be. His fun, carefree energy rubs off on people. And the parties help him forget about his problems. He doesn't have to think about his mom's death for a couple hours. He always thanks the Dionysus kids after a party. They don't really understand why he's thanking them when he was the best thing at the party, but they go along with it.
Cabin 13: Hades. Hazel obviously likes him cause of Sammy Valdez and all that. Nico wouldn't have a problem with him if he knew him better or spent any time with him at all. Any other Hades kids may or may not. They would totally think his fire powers are badass, though.
Cabin 14: Iris. I don't think they'd appreciate his jokes very much. He would love to build them a massive projector to put rainbows on everything. They don't really talk to him though. They think he comes off too strong. Despite being some of the nicest demigods at camp, they don't realize what's behind his goofy demeanor.
Cabin 15: Hypnos. The Hypnos kids might know more about him than any other cabin. Leo definitely had trouble sleeping at night after being on the streets his entire childhood. Like every other demigod, the Hypnos cabin is happy help. They'll take Leo in and let him talk about his problems until he falls asleep and then they chase away his nightmares. He accidentally woke up in the arms of one of the Hypnos girls and got kicked out for a while. But they always welcome him back in.
Cabin 16: Nemesis. Honestly, he's probably kinda scared of the Nemesis kids. He played a prank on one or two of them and definitely regretted it. But then they came around to him. Like Jason, they recognized that Leo did a lot of good despite so many bad things happening to him. So they looked up to him too. They refused to let any other campers pick on him. They checked in on him a lot, knowing that he was probably struggling with something. But they were too scared to pry, so they never really got to know that side of him. He didn't understand why they treated him that way, but he liked it. And he liked them.
Cabin 17: Nike. He wasn't very happy with their mother. But he tried to get along with them at first. He played a few jokes on them. But then they came back with so much harder, trying to turn it into a competition. He absolutely regretted messing with them. It was to the point that he started avoiding them out of fear that they would do it again.
Cabin 18: Hebe. The Hebe kids figured that because he's a hero, he should be looked up to. And he definitely flirted with them a lot. And they did like him, but it was more of a platonic thing. They liked his carefree demeanor, but he wasn't the kind of hero they were looking for in the long run. They were chill with each other though.
Cabin 19: Tyche. Leo prayed to Tyche kids after being convinced that he was cursed with his fire powers. He thought that his mom's death was his fault and he was terrified of being the reason anyone else died. He was hoping the Tyche kids could give him enough luck to not kill anyone. The Tyche kids can't exactly receive prayers becuase they're not gods, though. And Leo never killed anyone. So he assumed it worked, and the Tyche kids had no idea that anything was happening. He would thank them everytime he ran into one and they would give him a confused look, but they never questioned it. So Leo and the Tyche cabin were on good terms.
Cabin 20: Hecate. The Hecate cabin gets along great with him. They like to enchant his inventions, making them much more powerful. They encourage him to file for patents and be an actual inventor. He always blushes and brushes it off, claiming he's going to be an engineer and he doesn't need to make all this fancy new stuff, but he's just trying to hide the fact that he's very flustered and prideful. He tries to flirt with them, but he kinda breaks when they flirt back. At one point he was convinced he was going to marry a child of Hecate. But the Hecate kids tend to push him to work until he breaks down, physically unable to work anymore. Yet he's very grateful for them.
Why Zeus Forbids Interactions between Demigods and their Godly Parents Theory.
What if one of the reasons Zeus doesn't want his family to interact with their offspring is because he's afraid they'd all become powerful enough to overthrow him?
For instance, when the kids interact with their parents more they find that they have more demigod powers than they once thought they had. Percy gets progressively stronger as he and Poseidon work on their relationship. Same with Nico and Hades.
Ares also seems to recognize this and gifts his kids weapons and resources that give them more strength and tactical advantages. Even though he's not a great parent to Clarisse; he's heavily involved with his kids when it comes to war.
Athena uses this strategy too with her own kids but also reminds them of the drawbacks that can come with certain powers like with Annabeth's cap.
Demeter may not get involved with her kids because she doesn't want to risk getting too attached and she knows by being more connected to them they get very strong. Persephone was sometimes feared more than Hades in Greek worship and mythology.
It also helps the parents. The stronger the belief and connection in them; the more powerful the god gets. We see this with Poseidon in TLO and Apollo in TOA. Just some thoughts.
midnight thoughts....
Imagine a child of whomever (my go to's are usually child of Nyx or Poseidon) being close to Mr. D just because they have been at camp for so long and yes he does care he just doesn't know how to show it. What if when they go on quests or out of camp for any reason they bring him back like grape flavored coca-cola??? (Please just pretend that he can't have anything related to grapes even remotely because of king sparkles idk if it's true or not just bare with me). Like they go out to town and come back like "I got you a present!". He pretends not to appreciate it much but keeps asking for it and if they ever forget or don't have the funds he gets pouty.
Introducing... My Percy Jackson OC! + Art Collab.
This is Thalassa Amerta Kusuma. He is the Son of Poseidon and Older Half-Brother to Percy. Thalassa's mother is Indonesian (Javanese). I'll make a separate post for his information soon!
Also, this is an art collab with beloved Kak Mimin a.k.a @seshinart! Check out her gorgeous Daughter of Amphitrite OC too. Thankyou for doing this collab with me, Im sosososooo happy!!! These Cabin 3 kiddos are forever our babies. (Thalassa is definitely not a kid but he is still baby ehehehe)
Thalia: "I would never touch Zeus's throne, he would kill me before recognizing me"
Percy: "Once I sat on my father's throne, it was dangerous but it was an urgent situation"
Nico, casually lying on Hades' throne while eating a pomegranate: "hi pops"
Poseidon trying not to lose his shit in front of the other gods after Percy FedEx-ed delivered Medusa’s head to Olympus
"Do you think it'll stop one day?" Percy asked of him one day, breaking the comfortable silence they both basked in.
Poseidon tilted his head toward his child, raising his eyebrow as Percy laid down on the wooden floor of the dock.
"What, little one?" He questions the boy back, his tone curious and fond.
His son sighs softly, splashing around the water with his feet. He looks up at the lavender-toned dawn, stars shining across the heavens like a divine pattern on the fabric of the world.
"The suffering. The constant struggle for a losing battle where I can never win." The boy says, the reflection of the stars in his eyes, like a swirling galaxy of miracles and wonder.
Poseidon stills.
He slowly turns to his son and closes his eyes as he breaths out his words.
"I'm sorry." He apologizes.
"Don't be," Percy says back, his voice firm but soft. "It's not your fault, and neither it is mine. I'm not blaming you for loving me enough to make my existence a reality."
Poseidon opens his eyes, his gaze filled with sadness.
"Then what can I do?" Poseidon whispers desperately. "Whisk you away to be my side? Keep you chained to this land by immortalizing your body and destroying your soul? You wouldn't want any of that. I am a god and yet I can do nothing to aid you with your pain." He finishes, falling silent as angry waves crash upon the shore and stormy clouds cover the sky like curtains.
Percy glances at the crashing waves on the horizon, at the dark ocean that stretches to eternity and beyond.
"I don't know. And it's okay for you to not know either." Percy says calmly.
"Just be here for me until I won't be here at all."
And wait until comes forth the inevitable end.
The lack of Neptune material is an absolute travesty.
You're telling me, the Roman version of Poseidon, does not even get an appearance???
I shall now take upon myself to remedy this.
So
Neptune headcanons:
He's not as volatile as Poseidon. he doesn't get angry or insulted as easily either, but this does not mean he will not respond to you blatantly insulting him. There will be consequences to it.
He is arguably more possessive than Poseidon, especially when it comes to his offspring. He's incredibly controlling of his children's lives, often to a damaging degree. If the phrase "helicopter parent" had a personification, it would be this dude.
He does not give a fuck whether a child is his or from his counterpart. You are his no matter what you say, no, you are not escaping from him either.
To add to the last point, this man was seething when he found out Percy was at camp Jupiter, for the sheer factor of not being able to claim him. He went absolutely batshit crazy on Hera after that. He spent 80 YEARS not having a child, and the second he found out that he does it was ripped away from him.
He doesn't really use a human form. He just can't be bothered with it, why would he? He's just gonna appear to people as a humanoid blob of water and temporarily sends them to the underworld. He unironically throws water on his kids as a form of affection.
Percy both loves him and is scared of him. Neptune is completely unaware of this and just keeps grinning at Percy with his monstrous-looking ass teeth. Percy spends five days asking Poseidon if he has them too after that. (He does, not that he tells Percy, but he does.)
Neptune actually has a decent relationship with his brother, Jupiter. Jupiter regularly visits his brother and they gossip about their Greek sides.
Do tell me if you want another one of these for other gods in the asks! :)
Neptune [in human form] has scarlet-red graceful silky curls up to the middle of her back [they are so bright that they look like ruby - rich blood-red and shining].
Now imagine him looking at his beautiful son [shut up Poseidon, he's mine!] and thinks he would look even more gorgeous with his features - a couple of minutes of reflection…
The next morning, Percy woke up red-haired with longer hair and teeth that were too sharp. As a nice bonus, - scales shining with a delicate blue shade on the lower back, elbows and collarbones with shoulders.
This is GENIUS.
OK, but imagine
Whenever He crosses the Roman boundaries, he starts resembling Neptune, his hair changing and growing teeth and scales. (Which needs water too, mind you! Or else they'll become dry and itchy! And Neptune takes it as a sign to kidnap, ehem, express adopt his son to his relam.)
Poseidon is NOT pleased. Amphitrite has to restrain his husband from tearing himself apart trying to fuck up Neptune.
I also think that Neptune's eyes are more of a darker blue than sea green. Like the dark oceans of the arctic. Cold and icy.
So Percy's eyes also change between them.
